A delicate, calligraphic script with hairline strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving the letterforms a polished, pen-drawn feel. The design is strongly right-slanted with long, tapering entry and exit strokes, frequent loops, and extended swashes—especially in capitals. Lowercase forms are compact with a noticeably small x-height, while ascenders and descenders are long and graceful, creating a tall overall profile. Connections are fluid in text, and counters are open but fine-lined, emphasizing an airy, high-end texture.
Best suited to display settings such as wedding stationery, event invitations, upscale branding, beauty or fragrance packaging, and short headline phrases where its flourishes can breathe. It works particularly well for names, titles, and monograms, and is less suited to dense paragraphs where the fine strokes and tight x-height can reduce readability.
The font conveys a poised, romantic formality reminiscent of engraved invitations and traditional handwritten correspondence. Its light touch and ornamental flourishes feel ceremonious and expressive rather than casual, with a quiet luxury that suits intimate or celebratory messaging.
The design appears intended to emulate formal pointed-pen handwriting with an emphasis on elegance, contrast, and decorative capital forms. Its proportions and swash behavior suggest a focus on premium, celebratory typography rather than everyday text utility.
Capitals are the main decorative feature, featuring generous loops and dramatic lead-in strokes that can dominate line openings. At smaller sizes the hairline details may visually recede, while at display sizes the contrast and swashes become a defining stylistic asset.
